77, Quiet Quitting and Silent Resignation: Understanding the trend and managing it

#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, with 25 years of HR expertise, Mandeep Singh breaks down the rising trend of Quiet Quitting and its progression into Silent Resignation. He explains how employees may continue meeting job expectations, yet withdraw their discretionary effort, creativity, and problem‑solving—silently reducing organizational productivity. Mandeep highlights why this behaviour emerges, how it impacts delivery velocity, and why managers—not HR—play the most crucial role in reversing it. He emphasizes the need for strong communication systems, data‑driven insights, and empowered supervisors to identify early signals and re‑engage employees before silent resignation becomes inevitable.
